Ah yes. This is something I’ve seen quite a few times in many decades of being in I.T. and web development.

If I had a dollar for every Wordpress plug-in related hack I’ve had to clean up, I would have quite a few dollars in a bag with a large dollar sign printed on it 🤔

The ‘oh we didn’t know we had to install updates, I thought you did that!’ after the ‘we want it done cheap as possible, and the boss’s son is good with computers so he will look after it’ conversation, that gets conveniently forgotten when you send them the bill 👍

Then again this could be Big Butter trying to hack the poor olde vegans again. I like Big Butter, I cannot lie...

Howdy. Jackson here! This was a wild ride to go on. Thanks David for publishing. Was great to get a genuine scoop (of hydrogenated coconut oil) up on Webworm.

If anyone has questions I’ll be lurking.

Thank you for some much-needed levity.

"Wibwum" sounds like the beginnings of an idea for a limited edition, Australia only T-shirt.

I cannot IMAGINE coming in on a Monday to this information. Bless everyone involved. Hilarious.

All that talk of ‘fixing the back end’. didn’t help either...

Chocolate crackles are my absolute fav so this was very enjoyable. Sidebar: it’s quite cool that we were using coconut oil for kids’ party treats in the 80s before coconut oil was trendy. Kremelta hipsters 😂

So, if the multiverse theory is true, then right now some Norwegian dude is looking up some screw-my-wife-please porn and getting redirected to a recipe for Cherry Ripe Chocolate Crackles using New Zealand vegan lard.

Thanks for the chuckle on a rainy Friday. I think I like the sound of “Norske leona porno paradise hotel pupper & screw my wife please lene paradise” best

I love the publishing timelines David, that us Kiwis get to wake up to new stories like an online version of a morning newspaper on the doorstep ☺️

Oh my god thankyou thankyou thankyou David & Jackson! They say laughter is the best medicine & you two have just given me a huge dose! Have tears rolling down my face as I was reading it out to hubby.

You couldn't even make this shit up but I assure you the next time I make chocolate crackles they will include tears of laughter ....& very strange looks from my adult daughters as to wtf Mum is near wetting herself when dishing them out.

Oh my. And I thought baking was so .... vanilla hehehe. I'm happily sharing these recipes with my mum. She'll get a kick out of this. Thank you for the laugh to start my weekend off!

Oh my! I was just planning to get some Kremelta today as a lard alternative for my Coronation Quiche. I anticipate it will be on the top shelf.

“Wibwum” nothing is funnier to me than phonetically spelling kiwi accents. I cackled my way though this piece. Ground breaking work. Jackson cracked me up. Phenomenal.
